It's odd, in the previous Mac Mini I got that came with Hynix modules, 2 days later it died so I sent it in for a replacement, and this new one has Micron modules.

Does this means Apple has multiple memory suppliers?

Yep, I've had Hynix, Samsung and another I can't remember.

Cheapest eh? Why not funny brands like Adata or Epipia?

Yeah, they still have to meet a Mac's relatively high quality RAM standards.
